Banana's
Toothpicks or wooden skewers cut in small pieces
1/4 cup melted nutella ( or a good grade melted chocolate with heavy cream in equal amounts 1 cup of cream 1 cup of chocolate, which makes a ganache see recipe for ganache) for each banana sliced used (I microwaved it for 30 seconds) stir until smooth
optional crushed hazelnuts
Parchment paperDirections:
Place the banana on the parchment paper lined cookie sheet, with the spread melted nutella on the bottom of a whole (skin off) banana place on parchment lined sheet pan. Then smooth the top of the banana with back part of the teaspoon to carefully cover any parts of the banana still showing sealing all the way around with melted nutella.( If using nuts lined the bottom of the parchment with nuts first, nutella, place banana on top of this mixture and proceed the same for the top using nutella first then sprinkling with nuts.) A little messy but your going to like the results and taste later! Place a toothpick every two to three inches apart in the banana and freeze for at least an hour.
| I didn't smooth them out here with the back of the spoon, I just glopped it on and frozen them! I couldn't wait to eat these, they are one of my favorite desserts, even as a child! |
Slice every two inches after they are frozen and eat! Refreeze cut leftovers in a zip lock bag.
These were very difficult to photograph since it was a very hot sun, don't let the picture discourage you they still tasted great!
